Selena Gomez Sun in Sydney Transplant Scar Evident 3/19/2018 6:00 AM PDT Selena Gomez put on a bikini and hopped on a boat in Sydney Harbor over the weekend and you can clearly see some of the scarring from her kidney transplant. Gomez soaked up the sun Sunday with some friends — and no Bieber. The scar is not located near the kidney, but Selena had complications immediately after her transplant. An artery broke and she had to get emergency surgery where doctors took a vein from her leg and created a new artery to help stabilize the overactive kidney, which left the scar on her leg. Selena was in really bad shape before the transplant, so it’s a small price for another chance at life.

John Oliver took a week off from breaking down President Donald Trump’s latest outrages by focusing his fire on Vice President Mike Pence and his ultra-conservative views. The Last Week Tonight host began by describing Pence as an “ashen weasel” which was the “opposite of whatever a silver fox is” and then ran through his public statements on issues such as abortion rights, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, gays in the military, and even women in the military all of which fell towards the more extreme end of the spectrum. Oliver reminded the audience that Pence was the only person Trump couldn’t fire and could become president by default. He joked that former White House advisor Omarosa was right when she warned fellow contestants in the Celebrity Big Brother...

About a week ago (shout out to Bobby Shmurda) the Internet exploded when The Grapevine debated whether or not Bruno Mars is a cultural appropriator. There were some who believed the reason the 24k Magic artist took home album of the year at this year’s Grammys is because he’s a non-black musician who sings predominately black music. Others believed given his Puerto Rican and Filipino background, making him a person of color automatically means he’s not an appropriator. The debate waged on for a few days prompting several outlets to weigh in on the conversation. TMZ caught up with Stevie Wonder in Beverly Hills Saturday (March 17) as he was leaving Mr. Chow, and asked the 29-time Grammy winning music legend his thoughts on Bruno Mars. “Here’s the thing, God created music for all of us to e...
